If lightsaber is almost weightless and fucks up shit just by

Sheev force pushed his arms that way.

LIghtsabers are not weightless. They generate weight or matter if you will. Just like a balanced sword.

If light sabers are just sabers made from light then why don't the blades pass through each other when they're sword fighting?

And how are they able to deflect the lasers from laser guns?

>>82217536
Because it's sci-fi solid light

>>82217375
because he sneezed in the middle of battle

>>82217623
God bless him

They still require exertion as whatever you push them through provides resistance. Same theory as a sharp knife. It'll go through paper easy, but an arm will take more exertion. The difference is a lightsaber destroys the matter it contacts, rather than separates it like a knife would.

Refer back to qui gon ising it to cut through the blast door. It went through, but it took a lot of time and effort because metal is more resistant to intense heat and energy than flesh is.

Also its a sci-fi movie.

>sci-fi movie.
>implying
That would have made it more realistic.

Apparently, real lightsaber fights would be far less aggressive and be based on sudden movements. There's also nothing realistic whatever about the fights in the prequels, designed to be as flashy as possible, even if anybody who knew nothing about sword fighting could see they looked like bullshit

because he was a good friend

afaik sheev was moving really fucking fast and they just conveyed it really poorly in the movie

>>82218033
Yeah, this was it. Palpatine is meant to be using Force Speed here but the choreography/fact that there's no effect used make it look Nolan tier until someone finally parries him.

>>82217375
Because half of the shit made up outside of the movies is even more bullshit than the movies. There's stuff on Wookiepedia that says that lightsabers just ooze plasma and jedi's use the force to create a force field around the plasma to form a blade. They they say that Han could use Luke's light saber because he was force sensitive or some shit. And they try to cover up the parsecs thing by saying that Han went close to black holes or some shit to make the Kessle run over a shorter distance and the Falcon was considered fast because only a fast ship could do that.

tl;dr: the more you read into star wars the more dumber it gets

Funniest part of that scene is how Windu and Kit Fisto join fight only after first two jedi are already killed despite turning their lightsabers before Sheev does that stupid spinning move, instead of it hack Lucas could have made cool scene of Sheev parrying 4 lightsabers at the same time with no effort

They aren't.

>>82217375
because he's reys fther which mens she super streng

>>82217375
Lucas can't direct a fight scene to save his life.

>>82217375

Jesus, the rotoscoping of sheevs head on the stunt double seems super obvious

Sheev does his own tricks though

Who had the high ground in this fight?

>>82217452
>light saber
>generates mass

That's so fucking stupid I hope that's not canon

>>82217375
Why the fuck is Sheev CGI. Was that really necessary?

>>82217536
because the crystals they use make a photon only light that has a mass

>>82219441

It isn't.

It was stated by some actor- can't remember which offhand- that "George wanted moving the lightsaber to be obvious that you were transferring a whole lot of energy" in regards to the reason for the prop sabers being as heavy as they were.

Not to justify a the momentum of a laser sword making any less sense.

>>82217375
The fight scene is fucking ridiculous. Fucking brown guy there is actually facing AWAY from Sheev after the spinning moment. And the pig looking mother fucker had the PERFECT opening to strike Sheev in that shot in the OP, but doesn't because Lucas sucks at choreographing fights.

>>82218274
the dude looked away from sheev, what the fuck

>>82219534
Sheev turned his back to both Windu and Fisto, but they didn't attack him until he killed two other jedi

>>82219534
Ian McDiarmid is so old so it's understandable he doesn't have the greatest flexibility.
Don't get why Lucas okayed that scene though, it stands out as really bad.

>>82218016
As a fellow Jedi Master he was probably a good friend of Obi-Wan

>>82219519
>>82219441

Nope. The weightless explanation is now legends. The canon version is lightsabers have mass to them as explained in Star Wars Rebels season 3.
